In a preview for an upcoming episode of the Fox Nation series “Tucker Carlson Originals” Musician Kid Rock said he had no regrets of a public drunken rant during which he was highly critical of Oprah Winfrey and Joy Behar.

The episode titled “Life of a Rock Star” gives an in-depth look into the rock and roller, including how he has zero plans to apologize to the two women.

Newsweek reported:

During his 2019 rant, Rock repeated, “F*** Oprah Winfrey and f*** Kathie Lee Gifford.” He added, “I’m not a bad guy. I’m just an honest guy that says, ‘Hey, I don’t like Oprah Winfrey or Joy Behar. They can suck d*** sideways.'”

At the time, he continued his tirade against Oprah on social media as he tweeted about the television host.

“My people tried to get me to do The Oprah Winfrey Show years ago and her people wanted me to write down 5 reasons why I loved her and her show…” He then included the rainbow flag before concluding the tweet, sent on November 29, 2019 with “I said f*** that and her. End of story.”

Rock clarified that he meant to speak about Kathy Griffin, not Kathie Lee Gifford in the video which was filmed at a venue in Nashville, Tennessee and published by TMZ. “I own what I said” said Rock during his interview with Tucker Carlson.

“A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts, I own what I said,” Rock continued. “I don’t apologize to anybody. I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan.

Historic House Vote Expels Rep. George Santos Amidst Scandal

In a turn of events, the House of Representatives made history on Friday with a vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), marking the first such expulsion in over two decades. A moment fraught with gravity unfolded as Speaker Mike Johnson wielded his gavel to formalize Santos’ removal, setting a precedent in congressional annals.

Santos, indicted on 23 counts related to wire fraud, identity theft, and other charges, has not faced conviction but stands accused of misusing campaign funds for opulent purchases. The bipartisan vote, tallying 311 to 114, signaled robust support for expulsion, with a marginally higher number of Republicans opting to retain Santos.

Questions loomed as Speaker Johnson left the chamber, his silence leaving the fate of the ongoing government spending battle uncertain. According to reports from Fox News, Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer emphasized the non-partisan nature of the decision, asserting that members concluded Santos had tarnished the House’s reputation and was unfit for representation.

Within the GOP, conflicting opinions emerged, with Rep. Darrell Issa arguing against expulsion, citing the presumption of innocence. The tight-lipped stance of the House Ethics Committee played a pivotal role in the deliberations.

Conversely, members of the New York Republican delegation, led by Rep. Marc Molinaro, asserted Santos’ commission of crimes, justifying expulsion based on a comprehensive investigation.

Santos himself predicted the outcome in an exclusive morning interview on “FOX & Friends.” This vote not only underlines the House’s rare use of expulsion powers but also sets a critical precedent in handling members facing severe legal challenges.
